The Indians will return empty-handed from the season-opener if the compound mixed pair of Abhishek Verma and Jyoti Surekha Vennam lose the bronze play-off against their French opponents tomorrow.
According to information received here, the Indian men's recurve team of Viswash, Jayanta Talukdar and Rahul Banerjee failed to make use of their top billing as the trio lost to the Japanese 0-6 in the quarters.
The archers had identical fate in the compound section when the men's team went down to the US 226-229, while the women's side lost to Chinese Taipei 220-225 to cap a forgettable outing.
